'Find one thing you can actually complete and give yourself over to it, even if it is of no immediate benefit, to anyone but yourself.'

I have eyeballed the glowing red enamel wire for several weeks. I don’t “do” holidays, but I do like the hues.

So you can better understand what you see here: The stem of the longest specimen of this group of trumpet-like structures is about 1.5 cm long. I found them in the forest on a moss-covered tree trunk.

But what is this? Are these aliens about to take over the world? Or are they the musical instruments the forest uses to produce its characteristic wind sounds?

The world beyond our own "normal" perspective holds many surprises. Things so small that you only see them if you actively look for them, and which then leave us amazed.

This, by the way, which is a completely terrestrial pebbled pixie-cup, is one of them.

 

Damit Ihr das, was Ihr hier seht besser einordnen könnt. Der Stiel des längsten Exemplars dieser Gruppe posaunenen-artiger Gebilde ist ca. 1,5 cm lang. Gefunden habe ich sie im Wald an einem mit Moos bedeckten Baumstamm.

Doch was ist das ? Sind das etwas Aliens, die beginnen die Welt zu übernehmen ? Oder sind das die Musikinstrumente, mit denen der Wald seine typischen Windgeräusche produziert ?

Die Welt außerhalb unserer eigenen "normalen" Pespektive hält viele Überraschungen bereit. Dinge, die so klein sind, dass man sie nur zu Gesicht bekommt, wenn man aktiv danach sucht und die uns dann erstaunt zurück lassen.

Das hier, bei dem es sich übrigens um eine völlig irdische Becherflechte handelt, ist eins davon.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

Oh! Poor Lucky! She doesn’t seem to understand as she mewls piteously after it, that birds generally don’t like to play with cats, and that usually when cats do play with birds, the bird ends up worse off for it. Never mind sweet Lucky, I think it’s time for something to eat, and I know that you never so say no to a decent meal. This is Lucky. She is a very demanding black cat, and she is always mewing for something… loudly! However, I love her so much that with a face like hers, I can refuse her nothing!

 

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 24th of May is "cats in black & white". Luckily, this includes felines of the non-real variety, as I have no real animal pets of my own, which is too long and painful a story to go into as to why. I have always loved black cats, and when the theme was announced, Lucky was my immediate thought. Lucky is the lucky Royal Doulton black cat with a white face. She was designed by Charles Noke and was issued between 1932 and 1975. My Lucky is from the pre-war 1932 – 1936 period looking at her green backstamp. I have photographed her against a piece of art paper featuring a print of birds either in a cage or flying free. I have opted for the latter, which I think works quite nicely, and adds a bit of interest to my storytelling shot. I hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!

 

Royal Doulton is an English ceramic manufacturing company dating from 1815. Operating originally in Vauxhall, London, later moving to Lambeth, in 1882 it opened a factory in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, in the centre of English pottery. From the start the backbone of the business was a wide range of utilitarian wares, mostly stonewares including storage jars, tankards and the like, and later extending to pipes for drains, lavatories and other bathroom ceramics. From 1853 to 1902 its wares were marked Doulton & Co., then from 1902, when a royal warrant was given, Royal Doulton. It always made some more decorative wares, initially still mostly stoneware, and from the 1860s the firm made considerable efforts to get a reputation for design, in which it was largely successful, as one of the first British makers of art pottery. Initially this was done through artistic stonewares made in Lambeth, but in 1882 the firm bought a Burslem factory, which was mainly intended for making bone china tablewares and decorative items. It was a latecomer in this market compared to firms such as Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester, Wedgwood, Spode and Mintons, but made a place for itself in the later 19th century. Today Royal Doulton mainly produces tableware and figurines, but also cookware, glassware, and other home accessories such as linens, curtains and lighting. Three of its brands were Royal Doulton, Royal Albert and (after a post-WWII merger) Mintons. Royal Doulton is one of the last great British bone china manufacturers still in existence.

Today is the 11th day of Valentine's month of February, and I wanted to share my love of curiosity, travel, and research. Of course, picking up the camera has enhanced my curiosity and made me even more aware of my surroundings. Art, too, has enabled me to share my feelings more deeply than by word, which is not one of my strengths

If by Rudyard Kipling

 

To learn while still a child

What this life is meant to be.

To know it goes beyond myself,

It’s so much more than me.

To overcome the tragedies,

To survive the hardest times.

To face those moments filled with pain,

And still, manage to be kind.

To fight for those who can’t themselves,

To always share my light.

With those who wander in the dark,

To love with all my might.

To still stand up with courage,

Though standing on my own.

To still get up and face each day,

Even when I feel alone.

To try to understand the ones

That no one cares to know.

And make them feel some value.

When the world has let them go.

To be an anchor, strong and true,

That person loyal to the end.

To be a constant source of hope

To my family and my friends.

To live a life of decency,

To share my heart and soul.

To always say I’m sorry

When I’ve harmed both friend and foe.

To be proud of whom I’ve tried to be,

And this life I chose to live.

To make the most of every day

By giving all I have to give.

To me, that’s what this life should be,

To me, that’s what it’s for.

To take what God has given me

And make it so much more

To live a life that matters,

To be someone of great worth.

To love and be loved in return

And make my mark on Earth..

 

Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.

Zora Neale Hurston

 

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

Wernher von Braun

 

Research means that you don’t know, but are willing to find out.

Charles F. Kettering

 

Research is something that everyone can do, and everyone ought to do. It is simply collecting information and thinking systematically about it.

Raewyn Connell

 

Bad news sells papers. It also sells market research.

Byron Sharp

 

A person susceptible to ‘wanderlust’ is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.

Pico Iyer

 

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

Sainte Augustine

 

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he comes to see.”

Gilbert K Chesterton

 

Traveling solo does not always mean you’re alone. Most often, you meet marvelous people along the way and make connections that last a lifetime.

Jacqueline Boone

 

An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfilment.

Sir David Attenborough

 

Oh, the places you will go.

Dr. Seuss

 

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Louis Armstrong

 

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

I thought I'd have another guessing game - I'm sure some of you will figure out what these are immediately, but hopefully we can have some fun with it :)

 

I took it with my favourite vintage lens - the Pentacon AV 80mm and a 20mm extension tube. I did very little in post.

 

Theme: What's in front of you?

 

The big reveal:

 

Many of you were right in guessing these are the flights on darts. We just started playing darts again recently and I couldn't resist shooting the pretty backs of them. Thanks for playing along! :)

He's not so sure what's going on, but loves watching the action. 🏈

Update: Maybe it's better that he doesn't understand the game, what a bad day for the Giants! 😞

(I understand) I know what it's like to be misunderstood for being a free thinker but I have no idea what it would be like to be judged by the color of my skin, I can only imagine the frustration, can't help but wonder if God made the whole world B&W would we still be as judgemental?.... Probably...I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise. Be humble and kind to whoever you meet today, it's a rippling effect that can reach far and wide....:)

* I stopped to give a native girl who was broke down a boost yesterday, she was ever so grateful and amazed I knew how to do that.... still leaves me smiling today.

I know that life may seem a bit strange at times

But through all of the pain confusion you have to remain divine

Do all that you can do to heal and change inside

Know and understand that even

Flowers have to endure the rain at times

Beautiful sunflower, sunflower soul

You haven't been yourself since some time ago

Beautiful sunflower, sunflower soul

You have to learn to let go and forgive

In order for the sunshine to show

I want you to know that things get better with time

But in the meantime you have to stop

Seeing yourself through irrelevant eyes

May you shine like the Light that has

Brought you forth from the heavenly sky's

 

In the future we will have to resort to strange ways of obtaining water or energy. Let us hope that they are all compatible with our environment.

Frankly, I do not understand the hype about this man. Self-indulgent, bored with himself, delivering so-so performance. I seen him first time and last time. Would not recognize his music. Asked for 'shades' (it was dark), removed them in the middle of the same song. That alone told me who this guy is. I do not normally write anything bad about any musician, but this was not a good show. Glasper must have somehow get to, where he is now, but I did not see anything inspiring in this performance. Using recorded music, (of other artists), in live performance...wtf? Bringing his 4 year old girl on the stage, just deepen my feelings expressed above. And there was one song which basically told me what he is all about: ♫“Fuck yo feelings”♫. I left right after that one......
